Means of transport

The miniature model of Tirrenica has a size of 21m x 4m. It consists of 26 panels with a width of 60 cm and a length that varies from 1 m to 1.20 m.
All the railway material is contained in 12 drawers with the assistance and emergency material.


At the beginning it was all transported inside: an appendix trolley, in the trunk of the car and a chest of drawers on the roof rack of the car. To do each exhibition it took a day of work to load the car, the drawer on the luggage rack and the trolley.

I have had to do this for 7 years, one day Max arrived and I was relieved of my efforts.

​

We have equipped ourselves with a Renault Master van. Mechanical problems were solved by an old and wise mechanic, Mr. Oscar. After fixing the mechanical problems, we found that it was perfect for transporting the railway model, Max decides to give it a special touch, in fact we painted it with the XMPR livery of the FS locomotives, with the red front buffer beam of FS locomotives and at the end we put on it the initials <D538 001> so that it looks like a diesel electric locomotive.

​ We built 5 drawers 150 cm high, units were built to stow the panels. Covered to avoid dust with brown cover and VBF logo. With the help of a ramp, the containers are loaded onto the van.
